| Just a quick and possibly relatively simple question.....
I'm looking on the extremeprogramming.org website and it has a section
regarding Iteration Planning... In this section, the following is mentioned:
"The customer selects user stories with estimates that total up to the
project velocity from the last iteration."
How does one calculate the velocity of the previous iteration, if there
are no previous iterations?
Cheers,
Gareth

By asking the team to pick a number they are comfortable with. Everyone
knows the result is not yet a real velocity. Because nobody commits to a
velocity (yet), it's less important than the velocity later on.

In any way the team feels most comfortable with (which includes the
Customer!). Possibly simple gut feel.
Does that help?

Thanks guys!
